Operating Procedures

It is essential that the Underground Pulling Trailer be properly set up before operation. Using the following procedure will allow the unit to be set up in a short period of time and yield optimum performance.

A. POSITIONING THE TRAILER & LOWER BOOM Position the WDR 505 Puller within an approximate boom arm reach of the manhole or duct bank. After trailer is positioned, lower boom arm. NOTE: It may be necessary to payout a small amount of winch line (releasing it from the boom) first to allow the boom to be lowered. If so please refer to Steps C and D before proceeding. Remove the traveling pin and carefully lower the boom to the position desired for pulling operations (Figure 2). Once in position lock the boom in place with the pin (Figure 3).

Figure 2. Remove Traveling Pin

Figure 3. Lock Boom in Place

Now that the boom is in place, minor adjustments in the puller’s position can be made if necessary for optimum working alignment.

B. STABILIZE TRAILER After the WDR 505 is properly positioned, place wheel chocks to prevent trailer movement. NOTE: The trailer may be disconnected from the tow vehicle or left connected depending on specific site conditions. After placing wheel chocks, stabilize the trailer using three of the five supplied adjustable leveling jacks. Place three jacks in the jack mount locations on the trailer. Raise and lower jacks by rotating crank handle (Figure 4). Place two jacks on the boom arm and adjust jacks until the boom arm is level to the ground (Figure 5). 10

D. PAYOUT WINCH LINE Payout the winch line by pushing the winch line joystick up. The joystick is infinitely variable so payout speed can be varied by the degree to which the joystick is moved. IMPORTANT: Always keep tension on the winch line when paying it out to prevent slack from developing in bull wheel. In typical applications, the winch line will need to be paid out to reach the work area first, i.e. manhole, duct bank, etc. Then prepped for pullback, ie, pulled through duct bank with a pulling rope or tape or installed with a Condux Winch Line Blower. 5 Blue Heron Drive

E. PREPARE FOR PULLBACK Verify that reel winder pressure gauge is reading between 580 and 870 PSI. If the gauge is reading higher or lower adjust by turning the pressure adjust knob until pressure reads between 580 and 870 (Figure 8). Adjust Maximum Tension Limiter to desired maximum pulling tension value (measured in tons) by inserting the black removable knob into the center of the large dial. Press down on the block knob and rotate until the large red needed is adjusted to the desire value. This will be the maximum pulling force the machine will exert. Once the limit is reached the entire system will shut down and a warning sound will be activated. (Figure 9).

Figure 9. Adjust Maximum Tension Limiter

Figure 8. Verify Reel Winder Pressure Gauge Set hydraulic fluid cooling fan. In the manual mode the fan will remain on at all times. In automatic mode the fan will only come on when the system reaches a temperature of 122°F (Figure 10). NOTE: It is recommended to keep the fan in manual mode if the air temperature is 85 degrees or higher. For automatic mode, turn the fan switch to the (circle symbol) position. For manual mode, switch fan selector to the (circle w/ line symbol) position. NOTE: The red fan indicator light will be lit when fan is in operation.

!DANGER: Let the engine cool prior to performing any maintenance, or before refueling. D. HYDRAULIC CIRCUIT MAINTENANCE Change the hydraulic oil after 500 working hours, then every 1500 hours (or at least annually). To drain the hydraulic oil remove the hydraulic tank’s drain plug (table 2, pos. 6).

!DANGER: Allow the hydraulic oil to completely cool before removing it. Always use suitable safety gear (gloves, etc.). !CAUTION: Disposal of all drained system oils and fluids must be in accordance with local regulations. Fill the hydraulic oil using the filler spout designated on table 1, pos. 2.

!CAUTION: insure that no foreign matter enters the system along with the oil; if possible filter the oil with a 10 µm filter. Replace the filter cartridge after 500 working hours and then, every 1500 hours (or at least annually). Check that the hydraulic oil filter lamp lights only during start-up. If lit ant any other time it indicates that the hydraulic oil filter needs replacing. For further maintenance instructions on the hydraulic components (pumps and motors) refer to the enclosed documentation.

J. EXTENDED STORAGE When an extended storage period is anticipated (two months or more) coat external parts with waterproof protectant. During the storage period, start the machine at least once every two months and let the engine idle for approx. one hour. Do this so that oil enters the hydraulic system and coats all gaskets, o-rings, etc. The machine should be stored under a roof. Do not tarp the machine as excess moisture may collect under it and cause damage to the system. If the machine is stored for a year or more, replace the hydraulic circuit’s oil and filters prior to startup.
